Well, we won’t have to worry about that logjam in the Dodgers’ outfield anytime soon.

Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Timesreports that Matt Kemp is headed to the 15-day disabled list. The 28-year-old outfielder was given a cortisone shot after he aggravated his surgically-repaired left shoulder during Friday’s game, but he still felt discomfort while trying to swing a bat today. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly told Barry M. Bloom of MLB.com that Kemp will be sent back to Los Angeles to be evaluated.

Kemp, who had surgery last October to repair his left labrum, is batting just .254/.309/.357 with four home runs, 24 RBI, and nine stolen bases in 61 games this season. He just returned from the disabled list two weeks ago after missing nearly a month with a hamstring injury. Nothing seems to be going his way.

If that wasn’t enough bad news, the Dodgers have also placed right-hander Stephen Fife on the disabled list with right shoulder bursitis. Chris Capuano, who was expected to move to the bullpen following the acquisition of Ricky Nolasco, will now remain in the starting rotation.

Have to begin to wonder if all of the shoulder and hamstring problems over the past two seasons means that we will never see Kemp perform at an all-star level again. The sad thing is, he probably contributed to his own demise by trying to play through the pain and rushing back from DL stints last season.
